Fixture analysis

Manchester City face Brentford in Premier League on Sat 09 May, 17:30. Only Erling Haaland has scored more league goals than Igor Thiago's 22 this season, making him the prime threat. Manchester City's fifteen-match unbeaten run at the Etihad makes them heavy favourites despite recent defensive wobbles against Everton.
